LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Los Angeles Unified School District police officials are considering whether they need the armored vehicle and grenade launchers they received from the U.S. military.

OK hold on right there. WHAT??!

In a post-9/11 world, police forces across the country have been receiving military gear for free from the U.S. government, and now I think we've crossed a threshold where the militarization of police forces has gone too far.

Thankfully, the story looks like it may have a happy ending with the gear going elsewhere, but this report is simply amazing that a school district has grenade launchers and an armored vehicle.
